Symposium on cooperative predators: communication, cognition and sociality - Behaviour2015, Cairns

[sue_bertram]

Submissions are invited for a symposium on "Cooperative (Big) Predators: The links between Communication, Cognition and Sociality", to be held at the Behaviour 2015 conference in Cairns, Australia, 9-14th August. We are particularly interested in presentations giving species-specific examples of the link between communication and cognition, communication and sociality, or cognition and sociality, in large predators. However, all submissions dealing with the link between these aspects of animal behaviour are welcome. Submission details can be found on the Behaviour 2015 website http://www.behaviour2015.org/symposium-details/.
